Tbe Union of Capital and Labor.
Our remarks on Hua subject are not entirely
agreeable to the editor of the Ptfst, bat we shall
not now go out of oar way to notice his plea cf
not guilty, of e war upon capital, after judgment
has been, pawed by every intelligent man in the
has read his paper. At oar leis
ure, however* we may notice his rejoinder, and
will ndj?proceed further to discuss the question
underconsderatioD.
Thd'theory of the Poai and Its coadjutors, unlike
that ofalbsound political economists, is that eopiiol,
nstea4?dl being the necessary ally, is the natural
and irreconcilable enemy of labor. When they
speak-tfma —and they always speck loosely—they
mean by capital, of coarse, whaf re call property,
as money, or any other represent tfive values,,
as contradistinguished from lobar,' rhich is
equally entitled 'to be considered'* capital The
ideal* that the employer, who is of course inter
ested in producing as cheaply and selling as ear y
as. he can; will always endeavor to keep down
wages at the lowest possible point This is un u
edly true. It is -equally true, however, that the
operative, or laborer, on tho other hand, equally
alive to hu interest, will always be endeavoring to
pash up his wages to the highest attainable pornl.
The result of the struggle will of course be fro.
quent fincufoiion, depending on the groat rogula
ting elements of demand and supply. In this |
country, however, the advantage has always been
on the side of tho operative, for the very simple
and obvious reason that tho demand for labor has
always fitr outran the supply of that article. If there
have been any interruptions, they have been tran.
sient, and generally attributable to the action of the
government operating on the market, either by
glutting it from abroad, or seriously affecting the
circulation at home. Lex the scale incline how
ever to which side it may, one thing is very certain,
that neither the preaching of radical newspapers, 1
nor the harrangues of demagogues, nor the empiri
cism of ten hour systems, can regulate the relations
of labor and capital, or produce the slightest in
fluence of o permanent character upon the rates
ot wages. The editor of the Post may bellow till
he is hoarse, he inay render the working man dis
contented with bis condition, he may drive him
from employment, but he w»H never put one‘ad
ditional penny in his pocket thereby,—the only
influence which he can exert will be to do him
injury.
It is asserted, however, that in the association
of capital and labor, the.fbrtner alwaya|appropnates j
to itself, the lion's share of the profits, while the
latter is put off with a miserable jpitlance which is
barely sufficient to sustain life. t
It might bo readily shown that in a very large I
majority of cases the whole profit goes into the |
.pockets of the operator, while the employer him* j
ael£ instead of receiving compensation fat his
outlay, and the hazard of his business, n entirely
mined. We shall not, however, attempt that; we
will take it for granted si present, that the fact is
as alleged, and it is upon this basis precisely that
we propose to unite and identify these autagonisti
3cal and conflicting interests.
Wo propose .then, to remedy the evil, that th.
working man shall become a capitalist himself.
This he cannot do, however, under the present
BVBiem, became our manufacturing establishments
generally require so great an ootlay aa to render
■ them, in effect monopolies in the hands of ruh men.
We desire to popularize them, by (Griding their
capital stackfrto shares, which should be acces
sible to-the poorest, and iransfenablo at conveni
' ehce. If we can give to the operative an interest
in ibe .as*B proprietor, we shall, Presides
securing his fidelity, improving the character of
our manufactures, and cheapening their production,
enable him to indemmFghimseli for any reduction
in wages by sharing fully aud equally in any profits
which may bq derived from that source. He will 1
then of course cease to have any other interest
than that cf his employer, and the imian of capital
and labor wiß be, complete.
In order to effect this object, however, it is
, that a company so constructed, should
have a charter ol incorporation, which will exemp l ■
' every individual stockholder from any liability be
yond the amount of his subscription. There is a
vast amount of capital now lying idle amongst us,
which individuals, who have retired from
oY who could not afford to give their attention to
manufactures,or who have notthe personal skill or
knowledge requisite for that purpose, would be
perfectly willing to invest upon such terms as
*l*3o, while they would utterly refuse to embark
their whole estate in an ecterprize, with the details
of which they, might be entirely unacquainted, and
whose control vyould' be exclusively in the hands
of others.
Il is not, however, the rich only who would coo. |
tribute in this manner. There are many men in
our community, of moderate fortunes, many who
are now working in our larga-cstabliihmcnl*, who
cot!d>ery readily spare from three to five hundred,
or perhaps even a thousand dollars,*for the same |
purpose, and who might thus borrow the capital of
others to put their industry in motion, and give
them an opportunity of realizing fortunes for them"
hcltcs. As matters stand now, these men are
enlirely’.excluded from the privilege of getting into
business for themselves. They would be the very
men, however, to whose direction the affairs of a
joint stock concern such as we suggest, would be
committed.
There b another aspect, moreover, in which the
operative would be benefited to a for greater ex
. tent than from any of the Post’s nonsensical lec
iurra About the rights and dignity of labor. The
effect of such a measure, we dgubt not, would be
« to double in a very short time ihe whole manufac
turing capital of this commtmiiy. U would noi
merely bring about the investment of large tarns
which are now idle at borne, but it would bring
capital from abroad, and result in the establishment
of new branches of business w)iich are now con
sidered too hazardous, or- for which a larger
amount of capital might bo required than any mere
private company established on tbe old principle
could possibly command. If we are right in these
conjectures, it would of course very much increase
the demand for labor, and with it the power of the
operative to prescribe his own terms to'bis em
ployer. We mast defer.wliat further we have to
say until our next.
Tee GovnOTtEfT o i THX Jail. —We directed ,
attention, a few days since, to a bill before the Le- ,
gialature, changing the government of the Jail of .
Allegheny County, and gave some reasons in op- ;
position to it. We hove since learned that this bill
has passed the House, and is now before the Sen
ate. A more thorough oad careful reading of it,
g j our first notice, has not removed our objec
tions, but rather i here used them, and we hope it
may not pass the Senate, without a thorough over
hauling, and radical amendment.
•Our objections to the bill are various, but princi
pally because it places too mueh power in the
hands of the Commissioners, robs the Sheriff of a
part of his etholomeats, without releasing him from
his' most responsible and disagreeable duties, and’
m fg*n up a Jail and a Workhouse —a place for the
confinement of persons who muy'oe innocent, and
for the punishment of criminals. There art other
objections in the working of the machinery, but
these ere .the principal.
. That I here, are great evils io the present system
of Jail-management we freely admit, but it is better
to endue them awhile longer than to adopt a new
aystefn without a most thorough sifting. One ob
jection to Ihe Jail management now, is, that it
comprehends in its system, two opposite purposes,
tho safe keeping ot persons committed for trial,
*nd the^punishment of vagrants and criminal*.
Tlip propped bill does not remedy this evil,it only
-IbokS towurds amelioration. The Jail is now too
amaß, and is wholly unfitted for the purposes of a
. Workkwl.ro.' -U'-y “ U "° pt W

-It is barely possible that /here may be some
changes or mistakes, bnl the probability is that the
iolell
ligence can be relied oa.
Of the (election there an be but one opio-
ion among reasonable and intelligent men. Ii is a
good one —eminently so. It will give, we are/ai
ly persuaded, universal satisfaction to the Whig
party, and cannot be unacceptable to any lover of
the country. It comprehends a large amount of
ability, sound judgment, and ripe experience.—
Such a cabinet will receive and enjoy ilia entire
confidence of the peoplo.
Of Mr. Clayton we have already expressed our
opinion. Our confidence in his patriotism, his
judgment, his moderation, his fitness for the office;
is unbounded. Mr. Meredith, comes from our
own State, and although less known as a public
man than some ofhis colleagues, his high reputa
tion at home points him out as one who will adorn
the station to which he is elected. He resides in
Philadelphia, where be has been engaged in the
practice of the law, for many years. He is a
man of abilities, a npe scholar, an eminent lawyer,
honorable in feelings, and of gentle
manly manners. Pennsylvania is well represen
ted.
New England is ably and characteristically repre
sented in Abbott Lawrence, a gentleman
praise is in all the country, • A valuable member
of General Taylor’s council. -
Of Mr. Crawford and Mr. Preston, we have less
. knowledge, but wbat we have is favorable. We
I feel assured General Taylor has not mistaken ha
ButofThomas Ewing, one of Ohio's favorite sons. I
who does not know something—much —and that I
very good too. He was one of Harrison's cabinet, j
who prized consistency and principle more than of- j
. fice,and who preferred rathertosufferwitb the Whig
I party the disastrous consequences of Tyler’s treach-J
I ery, than to enjoy the pleasures of office for a sea-1
son. Whether be had respect to the recompense j
| of the reward, we cannot say, but right glad we I
1 are that he is rewarded. Wo know he had rev I
j pect to an approving conscience, and to political I
I consistency, and such men cannot go unrewarded' j
I in the long ran. We are nght glad, also, that Ohio I
I has a place in the cabinet The faithful and noble
I Whigs of that State who remained true to their
1 political faith, amidst the general falling away, are !
[ as worthy of reward as if their succesiiiad been
I commensurate with their labor*. g
I The cabinet is thoroughly Whig, and gives at
i sorasce of an unadulterated Whig administration.
| So for. General Taylor has given evidence of the
I wisdom of the choice of the Whig Convention.—
I We look forward to a peaceful and brilliant admin-
I istration, which will shed lustre upon this portion
I of our country’s history.

The. act referred to in the notice, auiborizes I

The same act authorize! the anbecn ption ofjOocs I

I In the present instance, the Railroad Company
simply ask the loan of the eredit of the county, as
they pay an annual interest of 6 per cent, upon all
I stock paid in foil, and the boodi ol the county wonld
be received as payment, in full: consequently no
I charge would be made to the county, and no las
[ wonld be required, in consequence of the eubserp-
U °Few roads have been built without the aid of
I state, county or efiy subscriptions in any of the
I stales. The city of Cincinnati subscribed two
| hundred thousand dollara,*nd loaned one hundred
I thousand dollars to the tittle Miami Rail Road—
I Upon the stock subscribed, they received in mi,
I eight per cent; and in 1548,9| per cent., thus ma-
I king a net profit profit of near 3 per cent, for the
I two years, mere than they werejmyingl tor the

I loan. The counties ofGrcen and Clark, took stock
I to the amount of seventy five thousand dollars and
I of course received the same dividend.
I We notice another instance near home,—the Uh
I tv of Cleveland baa subscribed two hundred thou-
I and dollars to the Cleveland and Columbus Rail

“This comparative small amount is all that is
required of Richland county to push forward this
vastly important pobhc improvement, which will

tbe cirpital invested, as its course will be through
the best grain growing counties in Pennsylvania,

great project.

r. Notwithstanding the interest which the vnledic-^
’ Xorj levee ot Mr. and Mrs. Polk, taking place at
nine o’clock this evening, excites amoa* all good
Democrats, the letter of James Shields, a '{ieraon
who has been elected by tbe Legislature of Illinoii
to be a Senator of the United States for six years,
to Mr. Breese. who now bold# the seal, is the topic
of universal conversation. It is the missive of an
assassin, and is so regarded and denounced by eve
ry person with whom l have oonversed concerning
it. The remarks of Mr. Breese, in which he lays
the miscreant before the public in his naked bide
ousneas, are dignified and appropriate. Shields has
to day caused to' be exposed on the table of tbe
general library the sword toted to him by the Stale
of South Carolina. 1 hear that, on looking at it, a
distinguished citizen of that Stale declared that,
* cmjfd this letter to Senator Breese have been fore
-1 seen, South Carolina would rather have voted a
halter than a sword. He said, also, that he hoped,
r if the Senate were obliged to admit this person to
a seat, no Senator nor Member from that Stale
would to far forget his self re sped as lo speak to
or in any way recognize him.
Senator Dodge, tbe younger, corrects the report
of the National Intelligencer representing that be
offered and slavery extension resolutions from tbe
Legislature of lowa. But he takes tbe point to
state, in his card, that his father. Senator Henry
Dodge, of Wisconsin, did rise from a sick bed to
present resolutions from that Slate, to that purport,
aod to vole iu conformity with them and the in*
atruct'ons they conveyed- Now this is true—on
i Monday evening, the elder Dodge did cause him.
self to be taken from his bed and brought lo tbe
Senate Chamber, at tbe risk of his life, to offer the
protest of bis Stale against the treachery of his col
league, and to vote against his treason. And In
, bringing these facts so prominently before_tbe pub
i lie, the younger Dodge evidently means to express
| his contempt of the baseness of his father’s col
legue, notwithstanding that he, being uninatrucied.
I and never having made any free soil professions,
1 voted for Walker’s scheme.
J We have all been disappointed to day in the re-
I sumption and continuance of the debate upon the
Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill U was.
j last night, reported to the Senate, and it was uni-
I versally expected that it'would be passed this
j morning, and sent to the House. ,
j It is now eight o’clock, and Mr. Dickinsoo. of
New York, is in fall blast, advocating Walker’s
I amendment,and making a Hanker Southern speech
generally.
When the Senate was about to vole upon con
curring with the Committee of the Whole on that
amendment, Mr. Da rose and said that he could
not permit this only opportunity he should have to
speak upon this great issue to pass. He thought
that this proposition had no business in this bill; bu l
as it bad been placed there, and as it involves tbe
whole question, he was compelled to oppose it*
with all his powers. He spoke for about two hours,
aod closed an elaborate argument against any of
the propped projects for the government of either
i or both these territories', bot tbe old and regular
I forms of a territorial government, with a splendid
I peroration, affirming that New York was tor the
Uman now and for ever. Whatever might be tbe
allegations against her, here or elsewhere, she
would stand by the flag of the Republic, until tbe
last star in her proud constellation sboald have fak
I len from the field that bore our ensign aloft, to be
J seen among the insignia of Empire no more for
In the House of Representatives a great variety
of business was done. Some two hours of the
morning were spent in discussing the bill estab
lishing a territorial government in New Mexico.—
•Then the dnahakeoffahle Joha Wentworth mo-
ved that ths House proceed to the consideration
of business bn tbe Speaker * table, in order to gel
at tbe bill for the abolition of tbe slave trade in this
District. The motion prevailed, but one of the
bills before the one Mr. Wentworth desired to get
at, was that of carrying into effect th fifth article of
the treaty with Mexico, requiring the appointment
of a commissioner and surveyor, for running the
boundary lina. That bill was taken up, and is now
ander discussion; and it is quite evident that there
| will be no possibility of reaching the anti slave pen
j bill. The more’s the pity.
Now- on this 231 h February, 1549. ihree days
and lour hours before tbe expiration of this Con
gress and Administration, bow stand* the business
Of the country* The House baa done reasonably
well. It has at least passed all tbe necessary ap
propriation bills. The Senate has not yet passed
one of them. The first in the order in which it
•taods. as in importance, tbe Civil and Diplomatic
Bill, i* encumbered with on incongruous amend
ment, involving the vexed question ot the day. and
| the Senate is l« r '*urely debating it. Suppose it be
I passed lo night, and goes lo the House to morrow,
I there remains but three days in which to decide- the
great struggle between the two Houses ou the on
Ily serious question of the tunes, in'bur politics. If
I -within that time, one or the other branch does not
I recede from ground most deliberately taken, that
J hill will be lost, and an extra setaion of Congress
I must be called.
An alarming rumor prevails, that General Tay
lor, having been waited upon by a delegation from
the managers of the “National Inauguration Ball,
and requested to attend the aame, replied that hi*
health and the probable pressure of bis public du
ues would not permit of hi# attending more than
one ball in lbs aame evening, and that he had en
gaged to attend the other assemblage. This is aa
swfol blow to the hopes of the gentlemen in office,
and if the report tarns out to be strictly correct, it
i* expected that many uf them intend to resign on
Mondsy st noon, or as poos thereafter as the forms
of inauguration shall have been completed.

broken io oonslitqJion, feeble in health, and still
suffering odder tw effects of wounds, you were
the only in £be city of Washington who re
ceived me.Witb ocßduees and unbindneac When
this city hOßOTetffiftc with a public dinner, whicii
was generously flneuded as a compliment not only
to me but tp mv 5 jale, yon were the only man who
declined tg atteoftlhot dinner. Yon went fprtber.
Yon propagated here io Washington, and
afterwords in Illinois, that I was ineli
gible to th£ Senator, and tliis, too, after I
had poured oat m# blood like water in the battle
fields of.county. Yon published an article in
the St Loots Republican charging me with inti-
which I thought no man in i
unified States would have been mead enough
to do m njy casfjE even if it had been true Yon,
thW£,knowing it to lx* untrue. On this
subject l have simply to say, that, had I been de
feated by yoa ou*ihot ground, Lhad sworn in my
heart ihx&you nearer should have profited by your
success; Aid, dsjSend upon it, I would have kept
thbt vow,TegarJseso of consequences. That, how
ever, is now past and the vow (is cancelled by
yfcor defiftt. W*ry 1 address you now is simply
tfais • h s ‘j.
In lS4o:you give me something in the shape of a
final certificate oknaiuralixation in Effingham court
You knew atth&time that I was naturalized t>y
law, and by the naturalization of ray lather while I
was a njfyior. (told you the circumstances, aod,
as 1 then? bdkedj@f going to Canada in case ol whr,
you offered to gjye me a certificate which would
simplify the pros in cose of difficulty. Now, I wish
rju to give ine ft letter acknowledging these lads.
write ypu a private letter lor that purpose. I
should have a friend at once and imperatively
demanded such?A letter, but 1 felt that, in disgra
cing you, 1 wounl disgrace the State that made yon
and toygelf Seniors; and 1 also wished to give you
an opportunity tjj make this acknowledgment quiet
ly. If towevefi yon persist in your course of in
justice toward and refuse this request, 1 here
give you fair wwning—let the consequences fall
on younbwn hsttd —l shall hold myvelf acquitted
both before Gosond man for the course 1 sbnll feel
bound to pursurtowards you.
Your obddient servant, JA». SHIELDS.

' _&R; It VVwith regret, I find myself compelled 10
ibfftgo Ihv-ileasnre of participating ia the doings ol
jottr mewing. There are several subject- on
which I win anxious to exchange ideas with my
boHicullugil friends. To one of them I wilfallude
bf-leUer.V
The 2ifjfohime of the contains
"Special Manuring" of fro it trees,
written Downing, which embraces the nnal
ytfo of tbit wood of various rpeciea by Professor
Kpfmong--S-Several periodicals and scientific pub
lications ti£th id Europe and in this country, have
ofcfcte contained much that is imjiortanl, in rela
ti<aj to this subject
ijominithity at large have always known that
specks of aoirual requires peculiar kinds of
f&d to itfi’tire health, growth, and full dovelope
mtut of i&powerfl, and that the kinds adapted to
tart specks, may not answer for another. The
ctfajt on that which would fatten the
'/s'bnt ejfch speciei of the vegetable kingdom, ia
equally effect m its requirements of food, hn.f not
bfjin genlyally uodrstood. An indefinite idea hg*
prßvailei'Jhttt alt vegetables will flourish ii| a soil,
ihfit m cejmmon language, u rich,
‘Roth sfnence und experience hive, moreover,
slftwn usjWt vegetables, as well tt*aoimala,niasi
, fo flourish. For the last sir years, I have
dovoted i&me time nnd tboughi in order to dispov
et the briu and most economical method of supply
ing frail and wheat with their appropnnte
fohd
-Tim waliags to which I have alluded, have re
lieved of much obscurity, nnd enabled
me to progress with my researches and yiperi-
more nrecision.
.vja y firfln originally contained very linked quan
tities of ffeveral important inorganic principles of
yriieat, those bad been eo entirely exhausted,
bjt bod uqanagemeDt, thgl wheat would literally
-neither straw nor berry,
.The p£ur tree woald aend finth not more than
from tire^o 1 six Inches growth ia a reasou; fruit
bEdd torm ifi dxeeta, the fruit would be
deficient in flavor, and in the
chorea oCfour years lha trees would exhibit m
Renees $ old age and disease. In the same -oil
the applq tree would sooceed somrwhat better,
vhile tbe peach and thechecy woultjiiltHinsh both
m regard to the productioncfWood aod firuitto the
extent of my wiahes.
Under these circomstances, I set myteif to
.work to discover the cause of such resoILS and
soon became convinced that it was a deficiency of
some kind of nutrition. The analysis of Professor
E. indicated tbe kind.
P a ** s ' clover, leached ashes, and a
small addition of barn yard manure, brought some
of my barren fields, at the end of two years, into a
condition in which they produced large crops of
wheat straw, but yielded only eleven bushels to
tbe acre.
By supplying one of those lot* with a second
dressing of plautey, turning in a large crop of clo
ver, and adding subsequently, a supply barn
yard and slaughterhouse manure, and phosphate *f
time, I obtained nineteen bushels oi superior wheat
to the acre, besides that which was wasted by
long continued rains. The straw was not heavier
than in the former vear.
A dressing of Phosphate of Lime, ashes and barn
yard manure, with a limited supply of sail, has ef
fected an equally favorable change with the growth
and fruits of my [war trees.
The limits of this communication will not allow
of my detailing till my numerous experiments.—
1 wi!l. however, say, in general terms, that they
have been iu the highest degree satisfactory, and
have amply repaid all expense and trouble.
A fruit tree or gram field can be fed with as
much success and precision as n cow or horse,
and a half starved fruit tree is no more sight
ly nor profitable than nn impoverished animal.
The late Mr. Marvin, of Beaver Po., Pa., once
observed to me that lie “had no Bjck sheep in lua
numerous flocks, owing to the circumstance that
he visited them daily and saw that they were well
fed."
Tbe horticulturalist, who pursues a similar
course with his fruit trees, will suffer very little
from their unhealthtaes* or unproductiveness.
Since I commenced the plan ofburb feeding, and
have banished from my grounds every tree props
ted on a sucker, not a solitary pear tree has been
affected with Fire Blight. These circumstances
may have been coincident but at the same time
accidental. The subject is, however, worthy of
tun tier aucntion.
The analyse* of Professor Emmons have been
the basis apon whice I have founded my expen
menu dunng the last year.
At the firti view of the subject, the culturist may
be discouraged with the apprehension that tbe
means of supplying hia trees with inorganic ele-
•nis eann«»t i<- commanded. I this section
the Slate the greatest difficulty will occur, in pn
curing Potash and Phosphate of Lime, yet Hie mi
If rmi* usually wasted about tbe dwelling of a fa
mer woald furnish the required number of fru
Ures with these dements. Lenehed ashes froi
ap making ami Pot ashrrjfs will supply the former
abundance, and tlx- latter is derived principally
>m animal bone*. Every frogmen! nt bone.^nd
tbe remains of every animat, large and small
should be carefully preserved and applied to root!
of fruit trees.
It may, however, he obtained in limited quant
•s from unue, excrements uf fowls, peal, and d<
\ tng vegetable fibre, and in some noils nod Wi
rail natorolly occur*.
According to Raspad, it abounds io such quan
tities, in the leaf of the Puke-berry (Phytolacco)
tlmi under certain management,the foot stalks will
be coated with acx-tilur chrystals of lhis salt.
It may, however, abound iu a sod in no insolu
able stale, id wbi< h 11 caanot be converted to outn-
Uon by the growing tree. The addition of ammo
nia or common salt, will at once enable it to pass
into a solution in water, when U may be taken up
bv the spongioles of the root*.
Common salt affords of itself little or nothing that
is nutritious to a fruit tiee, but acts indirectly, up
on the phosphates. In no other sense is it cither
a stmiulentor nulrieot to vegetation.
The more abundantly a tree is furnished wilh
ennehtng compounds, containing Phosphate of
Litu*-, the greater the quantity of salt that may be
itelv applied as a dressing!
Very respectfully your*.
